I was watching a live game summary and saw us down 4-1 in the second half and stopped watching and just went back to working regular. Figured id check in and see how bad the damage was.

It's official - im not allowed to watch my own team's games if i want them to have a chance of winning.

Sucks the 5th goal was disallowed. What a game.

Was it legit a goal, or rightfully denied?

It was legit to me. The ball deflected off Abraham’s hand then Azpilicueta scored. Ruled it a handball even though It looked unintentional.

In the Premier League, that is ruled out 100% of the time now, regardless of intent or body position - any hand/arm contact by the offensive player is no goal. I don't know if the CL has the same rule now or not, though.

This is the explanation fotMob is giving in their match ticker, as well.

Yea it just seems so dumb to me.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Me too, but it takes the subjectivity out of it at least. This group of refs in the Premier League is the most incompetent group of people in one job that I have ever seen.

theyve been exceptionally bad this year. Definitely giving last years nfl refs a run for their money.

 

[Halladay]

That was ridiculous. The ref totally shafted Ajax.

 

[Starat327]

Ok, theres the worst VAR call I've ever seen.

 

[Jack Straw]

Have to agree, that’s horrible.

They have to get rid of it.

I get the dudes foot was over the line, but so was dier(?)s entire shoulder. Sheffield got utterly shafted there.

 

[YEM]

Horrendous
VAR is the worst

 

[Jack Straw]

Was there ever any doubt that Spurs would fail to hold the lead? No, no there wasn’t.

not at all
lucky to even get out with 1 point
seriously questioning Poch at this point, Kane looked gassed all day and Moura shoulda been in about a half-hour before he got on the pitch. Not sure what the largest drop in the table ever was for a CL finalist from the previous season, but I imagine Spurs are on pace to shatter that record...

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Some shocking decisions by the ref (and VAR) in this Leicester/Arsenal game.

[HokieDude17]

Liverpool out to an early lead, beautiful strike by Fabinho

 

[BigToe]

They’re definitely gonna win the league.

 

[HokieDude17]

2-0 Liverpool, Man City look very out of sorts defensively

 

[BigToe]

Pep’s gonna kill someone on his way out the stadium.

Probably the ref at this point
